They've faced steep price rises, more than 160% in the price of iron ore since 2004. The potential reserves in Tibet could help with that. They include 1 billion tons of rich iron ore, 40 million tons of copper and 40 million tons of lead. "Just going by the reports I've seen and accepting them at face value, the size of these...
